Guest guest Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Dear Shiva, There was a fisherman sitting on the shore, enjoying the ocean view after catching his fish for the day, when a businessman walked by and asked what the man was doing just sitting there. The fisherman told him he had already caught his fish for the day and sold them at the market. The business man said, "Your doing it all wrong. Why did you quit, you'll never get ahead that way. What you should do is keep fishing to make more money. Then you can save up to buy a bigger boat so you can catch more fish. Then you can make even more money, and one day buy a second fishing boat and hire other fisherman to work for you. If you save your money and work hard, you can soon buy a third boat and hire even more fisherman. Keep going this way and soon you'll own a fleet of boats and be making lots of money." Listening to the businessman the fisherman asked, "Then what?" The businessman replied curtly, "Well, then one day you can retire, relax, and enjoy life." The fisherman answered, "That's what I'm doing right now." Ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
